Stan's Paving

Stan's Paving works out of 284 Derry Rd in Hudson and does driveways across southern New Hampshire — full replacement, extensions, overlays, sealcoating and the site work around them. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as accredited with an A+ grade, and its Google profile carries 4.6 stars from 110 ratings. New Hampshire does not register paving contractors, so there is no state licence to check for this trade. Customers who liked the job describe speed and scale. A November 2025 homeowner had small hills cut down and the whole driveway replaced in one day, with an edge added on the side where mulch had been washing across it. A 2022 customer in Bedford had more than 20 pines, some over 100 feet, plus stumps and roots cleared from half an acre, the ground regraded so water stopped pooling against the house and the driveway laid — with the machinery kept clear of the maples she wanted to save. Others describe a price from 2021 honoured in 2024, a crew that started at 7am and worked until 6:30pm, and quotes turned around the morning after an email. They also come back. A 2023 customer who noticed puddling from a badly graded patch had it corrected promptly and perfectly; a 2022 customer had minor things nobody had spotted fixed after the job was paid for; and a customer whose new driveway was undermined by burrowing animals had it repaired the same day at what she called a more than reasonable cost. The second thread in the record is about conduct rather than asphalt. An August 2025 reviewer described a crew yelling and swearing in front of the neighbours and leaving a urine bottle by the air conditioner. A November 2025 driver said a company dump truck came out of its lane on a curve in Litchfield and forced him off the road. A Better Business Bureau reviewer describes calling about the one-year paving warranty and being met with shouting rather than a repair. And a 2023 customer's driveway was tearing wherever a tyre turned after ten months; the owner came out once while telling him he did not have to. Reddit is harsher than Google. In a 2023 New Hampshire thread one commenter called them the worst company he had ever dealt with, a second said they had pulled the 'job down the street' routine on him in Londonderry, and a third placed them at the wrong end of the food chain. A May 2026 commenter said his own job was done well, while recounting that the owner had told him he was only a cousin of the Stanleys. Worth a quote if the schedule and price fit, and the finished driveways in this record are genuinely good. Before signing, get the one-year warranty terms in writing, ask who will actually do the sealcoating, and agree who you call if something moves in the first winter.
